Picking Up Sticks Again

So, finally, I've ripped open the bag of Wendy Pampas yarn I'd had delivered and got back to work on my WIP blanket!

I love this blanket so much. It's super soft, and the colors are just gorgeous. I just started the purple section of the blanket - that last stripe is #2248, Violet. I'm going light purple-dark purple-light purple-cream, and then I'm going to start with another color block.

That makes sense in my head, we'll see how it translates to knitting!

Thank you all for your sweet comments on my last post! I still haven't heard anything, but they did tell us it would be a couple of weeks. I guess I still have a while left to wait.

Stitching Friends

Methinks it is a token of healthy and gentle characteristics, when women of high thoughts and accomplishments love to sew; especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts than while so occupied.

~Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Marble Faun, 1859
